Sorry about the bike. Glad your ok. I would say you got a chance to do some things to the bike but it was flawless.

Glad you are ok, and I have no doubt you will feel worse the next day. Take care, and I too am wondering what the driver of the SUV said.

Glad your ok man. Got to love the guys who want to jump across the double yellow of a carpool lane. Hope you get back out riding soon.

Thanks for all the well wishes guys. Yes, lane splitting is legal in California and I believe I did have the right of way. The driver was probably cited for being in the carpool lane illegally, illegal lane change and hopefully for taking me out!
